Arrest of murder suspects
We wish to report to our membership that we have been notified by Police CID that arrests have been made of people suspected of being involved in the tragic murder of Chegutu farmer Mr Kobus Joubert last month. We can also confirm that two pistols, which were allegedly stolen from Mr Joubert during the robbery and the subsequent murder have been recovered and positively identified.
Investigations are continuing following a spate of armed robberies and assaults which are suspected to have been carried out by the same gang on farms situated close to the main Harare – Gweru highway.
Whilst the investigations continue we appeal to our members to remain vigilant and to continue to report all incidents or suspicious sightings to the Union and to the Police, whom we sincerely thank for their successful follow up and subsequent arrests.
